It’s that time of year again. This year Easter weekend corresponded perfectly with the height of bluebonnet season in southeast Texas. Amazingly (given the sacredness of the holiday) both my kids and myself have Good Friday off every year. So I did a little research and got the boys up at 0-dark-thirty to drive out to bluebonnet country in search of great photos.
This year we did not have nice new brightly colored matching polo shirts. In our latest efforts to fight consumerism (hello, our small group is working though Jen Hatmaker’s book, 7) I refuse to spend money on new clothes just for Easter or a few cute photos. Even with my vastly reduced shopping habit, my boys still have enough clothes to choke a horse. So I pulled out the cute matching shirts I bought for them last year that still fit. I wish they had been solid colored.
And there are the results! My only regret is that we didn’t leave the house earlier, because I saw some amazing morning light on the drive up but I didn’t stop because I knew where we were headed. We weren’t the first to arrive at the amazing field, but we did beat the rush of families and photographers.
You got some great shots but that last one is a heart breaker! love it!

Move to Texas! They don’t last long though, about 2-3 weeks, and they aren’t always easy to find. Thank goodness for the internet and people willing to scout and share locations!

Thanks! I make them do that pose every year…hehehe. I have a shot just like it from four years ago hanging on my wall in a giant canvas. It was even cuter because they were so much younger.
beautiful photos…sorry we could not join you…
Oh Jeez, the TX summers would do me in!
